What if you ditched the traditional egg hunt this year and explored a museum instead? For Easter 2026, museums and cultural institutions across Paris and Île-de-France are hiding delicious chocolate treasures right within their historic collections. It’s the perfect family outing—a fun blend of cultural discovery and sweet indulgence. Follow our lead!

Spring is budding, the birds are chirping and Easter is just around the corner. There's only one thing to do: find the chocolate eggs before they melt under the first rays of the sun! This year, traditional egg hunts are taking an arty turn, with museums and institutions across Paris and the Île-de-France region. Gone are the garden lawns, replaced by exhibition halls and historic exteriors, where little explorers and their families can combine a sweet quest with cultural discovery.

Between glimpses of the masterpieces, apprentice archaeologists in short pants will set off on an expedition, basket in hand, in search of precious treats cleverly hidden away. It's the perfect excuse to take a stroll through some exceptional places, while arousing their curiosity. Because art here is as much for the eyes as for the taste buds, what could be better than a chocolate savoured beneath a majestic fresco or at the foot of a century-old statue?

Be warned: these cultural egg hunts are a runaway success. So don't be left out in the cold, keep an eye on our updated selection and... book before it all melts away! Ready, set, explore!
